A striking gelatin silver print by Peter Beard depicting Ali Hassan, who served Karen Blixen in Nairobi, Kenya, rendered with Beard's signature embellishments of ink and blood layered over the photographic surface. The work exists within Beard's larger meditation on the vanishing wilderness of Africa, as documented in his seminal project *End of the Game*. The evocative subtitle, "a lonely horn in the woods," imbues the portrait with a sense of solitude and elegy, reflecting both the individual subject and the broader disappearance of a way of life.
